The United States — Supreme Court of the United States allowed United States — Alabama to use a congressional map favoring the United States — Republican Party (United States) for upcoming elections, overturning a lower court's ruling that found the map intentionally discriminated against Black people.

The ruling has drawn criticism from the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who argued it enables racial discrimination. United States — Alabama's Attorney General TJX Companies — Marshalls maintained the state did not intentionally discriminate.
